If the system 3H₂(g) + N₂(g) 2NH₃(g) is at equilibrium and more N₂ is added, a net reaction that consumes some of the added N₂ will occur until a new equilibrium is reached.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, when a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will shift in a way to counteract the stress and re-establish equilibrium. In this case, adding more N₂ is a stress on the system, and the net reaction will shift to consume some of the added N₂ until a new equilibrium is reached. Therefore, the statement is true.
